National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week
March 18, 2029 – March 25, 2029
The National Coalition for LGBTQ Health announces that the theme for this year’s National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week, being held March 16 – 20, 2026, is “Organize to OUTlast.” The theme calls on the LGBTQ community and those who provide healthcare for LGBTQ communities to organize for LGBTQ health against regressive forces in policy and culture. The Coalition created the National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week 24 years ago to raise awareness about timely and relevant issues impacting LGBTQ healthcare.
We urge healthcare professionals, advocates, and community leaders to collaborate on building strategies, skills, resources, and support structures that continue to foster health equity amid divestment and fragmentation of the broader healthcare system. By organizing within and across communities to protect advances in LGBTQ health, we will outlast the attempts to erase our progress. Organize to OUTlast assures us that together, the LGBTQ community and LGBTQ health services will survive, thrive, and persevere through these challenging times and beyond.
